575402 2007-08-02 01:58:00 Remember that older Dell 750 P-3 that I burned down and re-installed XP-Pro/SP-2?

Well, the version of XP I have has WMP9 in it...so I wanted to upgrade to WMP10....


But...Noooooooo-oooooo!

M$/Windows INSISTS on making me goto WMP11.

May there be cheese turds in Mr. Bills yogurt.

575403 2007-08-02 02:01:00 :lol: This (www.microsoft.com) may help, shall we start another thread about that annoying WMP11 update popup? :badpc: Download the wmp10 install file, then take your PC off the net while you install WMP10. :) wratterus (105)
575404 2007-08-02 06:00:00 Did it that way . . . no soap!

I think Ill go back and reformat and re-install XP/SP-2 and see how far I can get before it denies me the WMP10 update .

I know the WMP10 it still in the M$ site, but as I stated a long time ago, I think it's a hotfix or security update that's poisoning the water around the actual installation .

The download happens all the way thru, just the install is denied .

I gotta figger this out . . . I am getting angry now .

Well . . . now it's basically a psychological thing . . but I was denied the ability to UPGRADE to WMP10 from v9 on another Dell .

I like v10 . . I have it in almost everything else I run, and I just wanted it in this extra Dell too .

This might be my windmill, but I am gonna figger it out .

575410 2007-08-02 08:50:00 Just go with 11; simple and easiest. I use it without a glitch. pcuser42 (130)

Believe me when I say I wish this would work too...but Windows blocks the installation on anything from this site too....
